WAYNE, N.J., Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Konica Minolta
Medical Imaging announced today that the new AeroDR XE wireless
digital radiography solution has received FDA clearance.
Healthcare providers in the demanding ER/Trauma rooms and
ICU/CCU units need simple, reliable, and robust primary imaging
solutions that deliver the information they need to make important
patient care decisions quickly and confidently.
To address the needs of these fast-paced, extreme environments,
Konica Minolta offers the simple yet powerful AeroDR XE, the
lightest DR panel available today. Designed to provide unparalleled
reliability and high-capacity imaging in extreme "on the go"
environments the robust and highly durable AeroDR XE is also ideal
for teaching hospitals, portable use and at the bedside.
Built to endure the rigors of extreme imaging environments
outside the radiology department, the AeroDR XE combines the
industry's most robust wireless DR panel with a simple yet powerful
software interface. As a result, users benefit from the best
weight-to-load ratio – up to 661 lbs – and the highest bend and
liquid resistance on the market. Weighing only 5.7 lbs, the AeroDR
XE is the lightest panel on the market and easiest to handle.
"The AeroDR XE's rugged design and reliability provide peace of
mind, keeping healthcare providers productive in the most
challenging environments," says Guillermo
Sander, Digital Radiography Senior Product Manager, Konica
Minolta Medical Imaging. "Plus, exceptionally quick access to
images help boost clinical confidence, which is particularly
important in critical care situations."
Industry-leading DQE enables high-resolution images with dose
efficiency that provides the information clinicians need in
fast-paced environments. Additionally, the improved lithium
ion capacitor now lasts a full shift or 300 images. Grip
strips help technologists handle the panel while new panel drop
sensors and monitoring provide ongoing data on panel handling to
help avoid catastrophic failures, reduce repair costs and provide
worry-free operation.
"The new AeroDR XE is the smart, financially responsible choice
for facilities with extreme, portable imaging environments. It's
simple, reliable and robust—allowing for fast, hard-working imaging
when and where it's needed," concludes Sander.
